The
Slaters Trade Directory was published in 1852 /3 and covers Cornwall and Devon.
It does not have a seperate entry for St Just but includes St Just
in Penwith and its neighbourhood. I have decided that rather then seperate the
St Just entries I should display the full entry here.

SAINT
JUST, SENNEN, LAND'S END,

AND
NEIGHBOURHOOD.

--------------------------------------

SAINT
JUST is a parish in the hundred in Penwith. The village, seven miles from
Penzance and about six from Land's end; has become extended and improved within
the last few years from the vicinity of several extensive mines amd a large iron
foundry, and it has lately obtained some notoriety from the eclesiastical suit
betweem the late vicar, The Rev. G.C. Graham and the Bishop of Exeter. The tract
of cliff country between Cape Cornwall and Pendeen Head is, perhaps, the
most remarkable in the kingdom, from the extrordinary mining operations in
progress in its extent. Carn Brea one of the highest hills in Western Cornwall,
on the summit of which once stood a chapel, is about three miles south of the
town. From the elevated point of Cape Cornwall an extensive view is obtained: a
short distance from the land to the south-west lies the small islands known as
the Bissons or "the sisters", a part highly dangerous to the mariner
in stormy weather. The town boasts of two respectable inns, the
"Commercial" and the "Wellington" both well conducted and
comfortable establishments.

The
chrurch of St just is a solid structure of granite the Rev. Robert Atkins has
commenced to build a new church at his sole expense; it is to be dedicated to St
John the Baptist. The Dissenters have also olaces for their worship, and there
are two National Schools for children of both sexes. the market is held on
Saturday. Population of the parish in 1851 8,752.

SENNEN
is a parish in the same hundred as St Just, from which it is situated five miles
and one mile from the Land's End. Here is an inn with a remarkable sign being
"the first and last Inn in England," The church has a tower which is
conspicuous for miles. Population in 1851 652.

LANDS
END, in this parish possesses few inhabitants, yet it is celebrated for its wild
grandeur, and is said to be three hundred and ninety feet above the level of the

such as "the Armed Knight," "Dr Johnson's Head", "the
Spire," "the Irish Lady," and others.
